New tree support implementation by @ThomasRahm
This tree support uses significantly less filament, reduces printing time, and is easier to remove than our current tree supports. A number of new settings can now be applied to your tree supports, including support blocker, per-model settings, and support horizontal expansion.
The newly introduced settings are:
- Tree Support Preferred Branch Angle
- Tree Support Maximum Branch Angle
- Tree Support Diameter Increase to Model
- Tree Support Minimum Height To Model
- Tree Support Initial Layer Diameter
- Support Interface Priority
- Tree Support Limit Branch Reach
- Tree Support Optimal Branch Range
- Tree Support Rest Preference
Known Issues
- Engine crashes– Often if you try to rotate the model or move it away from the center it's resolved. If this doesn't resolve your issue we would love to get your project file to learn what's wrong
- Floating islands inside of support
- Adaptive Layerheights are not always working correctly
- Support Interface is not always working correctly
- Multiple external monitors on Windows (especially if from the same brand) might be a problem under some circumstances.
- If you are looking for an AppImage for your Linux OS we recommend using linux.AppImage. If you run into issues with launching your AppImage, we have linux-modern.AppImage ready as an alternative.
- Windows users might get a "Microsoft Defender SmartScreen preventing the installation of an unrecognized app". You can verify if the publisher "NL, Utrecht, UltiMaker, UltiMaker" and click Run anyway by clicking on the More info text.
Does Cura (not) work on your OS (version)? See this article for clarification.
